Sinopsis

Spirit and Form is a practical guidebook intended for those who have seriously committed themselves to the path towards the Spirit. The title refers to the intricate relationship between the way in which we shape our lives in the outer world and our inner development. The forms through which we express our thoughts and emotions, the ways in which we order our physical environment, the decisions we make as to work and play, public and domestic life: all can be used to enhance our inner life, and all should be made to "remind us of our spirit’s height." Everything that is of the Spirit has substance and form, and everything in the physical world is imbued with Spirit. Form and Spirit are one and permeate each other. Thus, our task is to give form to our lives with "the respectful reverence one owes the spirit’s life."The Kober Press publishes the only English translations of the books of Bô Yin Râ authorized by the Kober Verlag, Switzerland. The Kober Verlag publishes the books of Bô Yin Râ in the original German and has protected their integrity since the author’s lifetime.

Reseña del editor

The present book deals with a topic nowhere else discussed in the extensive literature on attributes of spiritual life; i.e., the intricate relationship between the Spirit's all-pervading, all-sustaining radiant substance, and the tangible and concrete forms in which this substance manifests its presence in material life. The author shows that, in the Spirit's highest realms, form and content are an integral identity; that nothing spiritual is ever found devoid of form, and that all elements of form, even in this physical domain, are ultimately based upon, and thus reflect, the Spirit's infinite creative powers. It is for that reason that human souls who would discover and experience the reality of spiritual life need to develop an awareness of the close connection between external form and inner content in their earthly lives. Imposing form on all one's physical existence; one's work and play; one's public and domestic life; one's impulses and feelings, including joy and grief, is thus of critical importance if one would be prepared to find the Spirit's realm within.To form oneself is, finally, the highest task in life; for only what has reached its perfect form can hope to enter in the Spirit's absolute perfection.
